Montevallo submits solid performances at KMS Invite

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - The Montevallo men's track and field program put together a solid display of their talent across multiple events, Sunday at the Crossplex during the KMS Invite.  

"We had a few personal bests after another great weekend," said head coach Tommy Barksdale.  "We know we still have work to do but I am proud of the way the kids competed."

Joe Leventry was the overall winner of the men's 3K, setting a nationally qualifying time of 8:14.80 while also resetting the school record.  Josh Pruitt was an additional event winner for the Falcons, taking first place in the triple jump with a 14.19m distance.

Freshman Braxton Sanford took silver in the pole vault with a 4.40m mark followed by Kyle Tidwell who placed fourth (4.10m).

Some of the best finishers for Montevallo included Will McBride who took fifth place in the 400 meters with a time of 50.53.  Julian Fore completed one of UM's best finishes of the day with a sixth place mark in the 600 meters with a time of 1:23.80. 

Gaines Myrick led UM in the throws with a 14.92m mark to take fourth place in the weight throw.
